With that, Xanry then got his wallet before fishing a hundred and fifty dors out to hand to Gerald.
Naturally, Gerald wasn’t about to say no to that money. After all, he deserved it, and he wasn’t
embarrassed to take it.
Now that the game was over, Gerald then waved farewell to Xanry before heading back to Juno’s side.
Seeing that he was finally back, Juno was prompted to ask, “What took you so long?”
“Well, I just yed around for a while. Regardless, I got a bit tired so I’m back now!” exined Gerald
with a faint smile.
Naturally, she believed Gerald’s words. After all, there was no way she could’ve known about the
incident between Gerald and Xanry. Then again, even if she was aware of it, she probably wouldn’t
have thought much about it. Hell, she would probably feel that Gerald had done well in teaching Xanry
a lesson.

Regardless, after a short while, both of them watched as Xanry walked over to them with a few bottles
of wine and what appeared to be some dice in hand.
Sitting right before Gerald, Xanry then smiled before saying, “I’d say we didn’t have that much of a
good time earlier, Mr. Crawford. With that in mind, what say you and me y something new?”
Hearing that, Juno couldn’t help but frown slightly as she looked at Xanry, wondering what he was up
to.
Gerald himself could only contemptuously think, ‘So,e back to look for more trouble after I
defeated you earlier? How reluctant to lose are you? I guess the only way to drill it into you is by
showing you the grim reality of things!’
Since Xanry was still pestering him, Gerald was no longer against hiding his true strength. If it was a
game Xanry wanted, then Gerald was going to y properly to show Xanry just how powerless he truly
was against him. Xanry was about to learn the hard way that Gerald wasn’t someone who could be
trifled with.
“Not a problem, monitor! Though I wonder what you’re nning to y?” asked Gerald with a subtle
smile after a slight pause.
Hearing Gerald’s agreement, Xanry then ced the dice before Gerald before saying, “We’re ying a
game of dice. Have you yed before?”
Nodding slightly, Gerald then replied, “Just a little!”
“That’s great to hear! I won’t be telling you the rules then. Regardless, what say we spice up the game
by betting seventy-five dors per round? I’m sure that that small amount won’t be an issue for you.
Besides, you already gained a hundred and fifty dors from me earlier!” suggested Xanry, a hint of
annoyance in his tone. Since he had been humiliated so much earlier, he was surely going to get
Gerald back for it this time.
He admitted that he had been a bit too careless earlier. Whatever the case was, he was a veteran
when it came to dice. With that in mind, he definitely had a major advantage over Gerald this time
around.
“No problem! I ept!” replied Gerald.
Upon hearing that, Juno—who had been sitting at the side—couldn’t help but look at Gerald with slight
bewilderment.
Tugging on his sleeve, Juno then whispered, “Hey, don’t go acting all recklessly now, Gerald!”
“Don’t worry, I’m sensible enough to know my capabilities!” replied Gerald as he looked back at Juno.
“That’s right, Juno! You should believe in Mr. Crawford, you know?” added Xanry.
Hearing that, Juno chose to remain silent. After all, she, of all people, trusted that Gerald wasn’t one to
act recklessly.
With that settled, Xanry then pushed the dice toward Gerald.
Picking them up, Gerald then began shaking the dice.
He was no stranger to the game, which exined his current confidence against Xanry. What more, he
had a secret weapon that the others were unaware of, that being the fact that he could differentiate the
points of the dice just by listening!
Naturally, this was a pretty exclusive skill that ordinary people could never hope to achieve. Gerald,
however, was no ordinary person.
With all that in mind, it was pretty much set in stone that Gerald was going to be the victor before the
game even began…
